The self same people who poison beagles, release mink into the wild where they tend to die, but, not before decimating the native wildlife and firebomb buildings/property belonging to those with even the most tenuous of links to medical science.

flagging up the issue and saying your not comfortable going there. I expect that she wouldnt be keen either, and if you can offer up alternatives then thats all you can do. If she still wants to go then i suppose you should this time, but not again?

If you fancy it though, you could ring them up with a list of things that the ALF have done, which you consider to be immoral, and ask them to withdraw their support. Then you'll find out if therestaurant people are misguided or psychopaths.

Shows a poor understanding of the ALF, and their activities. I have friends who are supporters of the group and who have never chastised me for eating meat. The problem with activist groups is that ANYONE can operate under their name. SO a bunch of misguided individuals occasionally do stupid things can use the name. I'd agree with anyone who's afraid of this occuring and wouldnt want to fund the group because of this problem. But PLEASE do not label all animal rights activists or ALF supporters by the actions of a few individuals.

The fact is youve probably bought clothes made with sweatshop labour in your lifetime and funded far worse things either knowingly or unknowingly (i know i have) so choosing not to go there on those grounds is a bit silly in perspective.
